Overview
- The six-episode, half-hour season debuts Sunday, Jan. 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HBO with concurrent streaming on HBO Max and weekly releases.
- Set roughly a century before Game of Thrones, the story follows hedge knight Ser Duncan and his young squire on grounded travels far from courtly power plays.
- Ira Parker says the series drops the franchise’s animated opening in favor of a simple title card to match its plainspoken protagonist.
- George R. R. Martin serves as co-creator, co-writer, and executive producer, with Parker as showrunner and directors Owen Harris and Sarah Adina Smith helming the season.
- Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell lead a cast that includes Bertie Carvel, Finn Bennett, Daniel Ings, Tanzyn Crawford, Sam Spruell, and Danny Webb, with the trailer intentionally keeping major reveals under wraps.
